Fontodi Chianti Classico 2013 1.5L

The Winery

Fontodi

Fontodi winery is located in the heart of Chianti Classic in the area that is referred to as “Conca d’Oro” (the golden shell) which is steep hillsides covered in vineyards, in the shape of a shell or an amphitheater with the vines soaking up the sun.

This beloved winery has been in the hands of the Manetti family since 1968 with the focus on constantly improving grape quality using organic and biodynamic methods. As they have made all efforts to improve quality in the vineyards, they have noticed that their vines rea producing more richness, complexity, and great intensity which should age longer than their predecessors. These rich, complex wines explode on the palate with defined flavors and juiciness. This is a wine you will drink and remember forever.

Summary

The Fontodi Chianti Classico 2013 is a refined example of Sangiovese from the renowned Conca d’Oro in Tuscany, crafted by the Manetti family, who have a legacy in organic farming. The wine showcases a medium to full body with a velvety texture, offering a harmonious blend of dark cherry, blackberry, and spiced notes. The 2013 vintage, characterized by its cool growing season, lends the wine a fresh vibrancy and notable structure, making it suitable for aging. With aromas of wild berries, earthy undertones, and a hint of mocha, the wine presents a striking balance of acidity and fine tannins, culminating in a persistent, elegant finish. This vintage reflects the purity and finesse typical of the region.
